 Act1ves and Veterans and a Large
 COncOurse of Citizens.
 General Terry arrived here from Chicago yesterday afternoon on the .1:11 train and was received at the depot by the active Grays, Captain Ford and the veteran bat- talion, General Bradley, both commands in uniform. The actives appeared in their new gray uniforms. There was 8 crowd of nearly two thousand people at the depot to see and greet the hero of Fort Fisher. It was grand popular demonstration to an old citizen, now of national fame and high in rank in the army of his country. Many hands were out stretched to shake hands with the hero and as many were accommodated with a hand shake as the brief opportunity permitted. The general has the same erect carriage and stately presence as of yore and would look youthful but for the tell-tale gray hair and chin whiskers. He looks every inch sol dier and his inches are six feet one, and he stood conspicuous among the throngs about him. He wore Prince Albert frock coat and wide brimmed jaunty straw hat and car- ried his sword. He looks as if born to com mand and like the polished, scholarly soldier that he is. An open barouche drawn by four white horses was waiting, into which Gene ral Terry stepped, accompanied by General s. E. Merwin, exGovernor Harrison and General E. s. Greeley.
 The line was formed in the following order:
 Second Regiment Band g pieces Sergeant George New Haven Grays, 60 nluskets, Captain O. c.
